In this paper, the effect of surface area of reaction layers in gas diffusion electrodes on oxygen reduction reaction was investigated. For this purpose, various amounts (0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 1, 1.5 and zero %wt of total loading of reaction layer) of single walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) were inserted in the reaction layer. The performance of gas diffusion electrodes for oxygen reduction re...

in this work, electrocatalyst with core-shell structure (pd as core and pt as shell on vulcanxc-72r) was synthesis. not only this structure can reduce the amount of platinum but it also can increase the gas diffusion electrode (gde) performance in cathode reaction (oxygen reduction reaction or orr) of polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (pemfc). to this meaning, one series of electrocatalyst...

gas diffusion electrode was used for providing better conditions in fuel cell systems for oxygen reduction reaction (orr). because the slow kinetics of the oxygen reduction reaction at the proton exchange membrane fuel cell cathode restricts fuel cell efficiency. to this end, researchers have used platinum-coated carbon. in the present study, due to the reduction of carbon corrosion, zinc oxide...

Highly efficient and chemically compatible LnxSr1-xCoO3-delta (Ln = La, Sm, Gd, ...)/Co3O4 electrocatalysts for oxygen reduction reaction are presented and the very low cathode polarization resistances and excellent performances implied their promising application for developing intermediate-temperature solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs), as well as potential application for oxygen separation membr...

Reduced graphene oxide film was synthesized on a glassy carbon electrode by electro reduction of graphene oxide powders in aqueous solution. Then platinum nano particles were deposited on reduced graphene oxide film that was deposited on the glassy carbon electrode via electro reduction of platinum salt. The Physical morphology of the platinum on reduced graphene oxide film was evaluated by sca...

Morphology and size of platinum nanoparticles are a crucial factor in improving their catalytic activity and stability. Here, we firstly report the synthesis of high loading Pt nanoparticles on polydopamine reduced Graphene. The loading concentration of Pt (nanoparticles) NPs on Graphene can be adjusted in the range of 60-70%.With the insertion of polydopamine between Graphene oxide sheets, sta...
